    8.4 looks to defend with the bat far from the body as she gets an outside edge that's snaffled up by the keeper. Good bowling change, that 31/1
    21.5 and they have the wicket they want! Good length ball outside the off stump. For some reason, Smriti is playing inside the line of the delivery and is beaten all ends up. The ball hits the outside half of the off stump 80/5
    9 Mithali is shocked beyond belief! She comes forward and thinks that she has covered the line, but the ball turns in the gap between the bat and the pad. It hits the stumps and it took a long while for Mithali to comprehend what happened. She took a long time to move from the crease. It will be interesting to see what effect that delivery has on the Indian batting 35/2
    12.1 she got Mithali with a peach and gets Harmanpreet with a long hop. Full-toss on the middle stump. She comes down the track to slog it away but instead lofts it straight to Ecclestone at mid-on. 47/3
    17.1 good length ball outside the off stump. Veda has been in two minds whenever she is looking to defend. Here she goes early for the stroke and is beaten. The ball shoots in the gap between bat and pad. It hits the off stump 66/4

    22.5 comes forward and slogs it to mid-on. She decides to set off for the single and Vastrakar shows she is a greenhorn by not running in straight line. She deviates off the line at the last moment at a time where every inch counted. She is short by inches as the ball hits the stumps. Ecclestone, the thrower, wasn't confident initially but the fact that Vastrakar didn't run in a straight line gets England the wicket 81/6
    24 grubber! Good length delivery outside the off stump and turning in. She goes back, compounding the problem, and looks to defend it. The ball was bowled a tad faster than the previous balls, beating Sushma comprehensively and it hits the middle stump 81/7
    31.5 goes down the leg stump line as she sees Jhulan come down the track and spears it in faster for good measure. The keeper collects the ball and whips the bails off 106/8
    36.3 good length ball on the leg stump. She is struck in front of middle. It looks as if it might have drifted down the leg stump line. I am not willing to put my neck on the line for that and so is the umpire. He raises the finger 111/9
    37.2 how poor was the match awareness by Deepti and Ekta? Fuller ball outside the off stump. Ekta has made up her mind to sweep the ball whatever the line of the ball. She gets a top edge to short fine-leg where the catch is taken. It wouldn't have come down to this if Deepti showed some awareness and not run off the first ball of the over 113/10
